Following a violent clash between Black Lives Matter demonstrators and counterprotesters in Norco on Monday, the city has declared a local emergency and issued a daily curfew.<\/p>\n

The 6 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew<\/a> will be in place indefinitely, city officials said Tuesday in announcing the measure. The curfew, like others implemented across Southern California<\/a> in early June amid protests over the death of George Floyd, prohibits residents from being in any public area, with the exception of police and first responders, essential workers and homeless people.<\/p>\n

The move came one day after a rally protesting police treatment of Black Americans was held at Neal Snipes Park, followed by a march to Norco City Hall. The gathering was marred by what city officials called \u201coffensive\u201d behavior from a group toting \u201cAll Lives Matter\u201d signs and waving American flags and Trump 2020 banners.<\/p>\n

The initial group of 40 or 50 mostly college-age demonstrators was outnumbered nearly 2-to-1 by counterprotesters. <\/p>\n

A video posted on Instagram<\/a> shows a man with a neo-Nazi symbol on his shirt flipping his middle finger and cursing at the crowd before shoving a protester. The man then grabs another protester\u2019s Black Lives Matter sign and throws it behind him, while other counterprotesters continue taunting those in the initial gathering. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe counterprotesters were revving their engines, trying to disrupt our reading and our guest speakers,\u201d said Elizabeth Kavainain, who was among the protest organized by Norconians for Racial Justice. \u201cAs a group together, our voice was strong, and our voice was loud. I think that that really says something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though agitators threatened her and screamed profanities directly at her, Kavainain said their behavior didn\u2019t deter the group, noting that she hopes to continue fighting for racial justice in Norco.<\/p>\n

By Wednesday, another profanity-laced video<\/a> showing scores of counterprotesters mocking the racial justice group had more than 32,500 views on Instagram. \u201cGet out of here,\u201d one man shouts, while another is heard calling out, \u201cMask-wearing cowards,\u201d as deputies escorted the Black Lives Matter group along the road toward City Hall.<\/p>\n

A faint chant of \u201cNo Justice, No Peace\u201d can be heard in the background.<\/p>\n

Many commenters on the post condemned the agitators \u2014 nearly all of whom were white \u2014 for \u201cassaulting women.\u201d <\/p>\n

City officials announced Tuesday the incident is under investigation, noting that \u201cNorco does not condone these actions and denounces the offensive behavior of some of the counterprotesters.\u201d<\/p>\n

A joint statement<\/a> from Riverside County sheriff\u2019s Lt. Andrew Elia and Norco City Manager Andy Okoro stated that \u201cthe images displayed yesterday do not reflect the level of respect Norconians typically extend to their neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNorco residents have had widely divergent reactions to the outpouring of grief, anger and demand for change by the Black Lives Matter movement that has recently swept the nation,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWhile individuals in our community are entitled to their First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble and express their views, the violent behavior exhibited yesterday does not in any way represent the values of our organization.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
